What is the water temperature high and low temps of the pond each day? Check this around 12-1pm and 3-4pm for high end temperature and midnight and 4-5am for low end temperature. Your pond isn't really deep enough to benefit from geothermal effects on the water temp although it will help it a little.

Do you have fish already?

We're you planning on buying goldfish from a pet store or garden center? Garden center fish would probably be more hardy and better able to handle outdoor temp swings.

i have no fish in them yet. and i was planning from a garden store i asked to get smaller ones, as they only have fully grown ones. and one of them in each pond would seem lonley to me. il check the temps on the weekend.
